The new LeCro oy Gen2 x8 Active Interposer provides an economical means to probe e PCI Express traffic between a host and PCIe® expansion card d. The interposer assures reliable data transmission while providing g 100% capture of all data traffic flowing through the PCIe slot interface. Connecting the interposer to a LeCroy analyzer allows d of data flowing in both directions and across all decoding and display lanes, and will display data traffic using the industry-standard CATC Trace™ data display, along with a wide range of traffic and error reports. The Gen2 x8 Active A Interposer supports data rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1) and 5.0 GT/s (G Gen2), and lane widths up to x8 (the PCIe connector on the card will su upport PCIe expansion cards up to x16, but the lane width will be ne egotiated down to a maximum of x8 when passing through the inte erposer card). The interposer can be used with host PCIe expansio on slots as small as x1 by using card edge reducer adapters (see diagram d on following page). The new Gen2 2 x8 Active Interposer is a powerful and versatile tool for all developers working with Gen2 PCIe expansion cards.
Gen2 x8 Active Interposer Interconnection n Overview Summit T28 Analyzer (or other compatible LeCroy analyzer)
PCIe Card Under Test Lane Activvity LEDs 12V DC from adapter supplied
USB 2.0 Connection
iPass Y-Cable PE010UCA-X
USB connector for factory configuration only
Optional Card Edge Connector (needed only for x1 and x4 host card slots)
Host PCIe Slot Connecting the Gen2 x8 Active Interposer 1. Install the Interposer into the host system PCIe connectorr, using a card edge reducer adapter if needed (for x4 and x1 PCIe slots only). 2. Install the PCIe expansion card under test (DUT) into the connector on the interposer. Note that PCIe expansion cards with edge connectors up to x16 can fit the connecto or on the interposer, but the maximum lane width that can be negotiated for traffic flowing through the interposer is x8. x 3. Connect 12V DC using the AC adapter supplied with the interposer. i Make sure that the AC adapter is turned on. 4. Connect the Summit T28 Analyzer (or other compatible LeCroy analyzer) to the interposer using an iPass Y-cable. 5 Connect the analyzer to a host computer system using the USB 2.0 5. 2 0 port on the back panel of the Summit T28 analyzer. 6. Install the software on the host system. 7. Power on the analyzer. 8. Power on the host system. 9. Use the LeCroy software application to monitor, record an nd view PCI Express traffic in the PCI expansion card DUT system. System Compatibility
